Does anyone know how to put the overhead console that came in the lariat's in my XLT. I really want the compass and the extra storage. Thanks

My imagenary friend thinks you have a mental problem

 

We got people that want to do it. Now all we need is someone that knows how to do it.

 

I remember someone back in... maybe... June, that was trying to get all the parts together to install one. With any luck, maybe they are still reading the boards and will reply.

Let us know hat he has to say!
Thanks

 

Justin - The Exped. console eBay shows is not the one in the SD Lariat.
The Lariat for one does not have all the rear A/C controls like the
one here on eBay.

I will take a picture tmrw. of mine and post it... too late/dark out now to make a good photo.

I would think the main issue on how to make it work is not hanging
it up in the roof, but rather running the correct wires to it for
power and DTE readings (distance to empty) etc. That IMO is the tricky
part.

Here is the 2001 Lariat overhead console. Basically just the computer
readout screen and a small storage slot behind it.

Here is an interesting custom overhead console. Might give you some ideas.

Sure did, every thing except the temp sensor and cable that mounts somewhere by the radiator support. The temp reads "-40 C" (or "-40 F", it didn't matter) but everything else displays and works just fine. I especially like the "miles until empty" readout and also the computed miles per gallon is cool too (very accurate, too). I've got to find where the temp sensor and cable hook up to so the project is complete. The three dealerships I've talk to were little or no help and want to charge a bazillion dollars an hour to do this for me.

It took about an hour to install the interior pieces. I removed the pull handle and right A Pillar moulding, the right kick panel and the right sill plate. I then removed both sunvisors as to allow the head liner to come down just enough to plug the harness anchors into the windshield's frame. The harness also incorporates the power plug for cab lights so if you're not doing those just tape the connectors to the harness. I disconnected the battery when I plugged the harness to the connector located behind the right kick panel. I then cut the hole where the console fits; start small as I'm sure a crewcab headliner isn't cheap.

Patience is key; if you get frustrated stop and have a cool refreshing beverage of your choice!

Is all ther wiring up there for it? I'm sure it would be cheaper for ford to but the same wiring harness in all the trucks instead of selecting which one gets which.

 

Acc. to the tech. I spoke to at Ford this AM the harness is a separate
purchase and has to be wired in. You should be able to order it from your
local dealer.
